"Red wire, Red wire;
Oh won't you let me go to bed?
The days' been so long,
the nights' too
and I'd like to rest my head!"
But no- The Red wire replied.
The clocks yet to tock,
the stars are yet to align
and the moons not yet sighed.
"Oh Please," I begged
"Red wire, let me sleep.
Take my arms, my legs
or my heavy heart instead!"
I see, the Red wire said,
Snaking around my throat.
My lungs filled with dread.
"I will make you dream.
Dream.
Dream.
until we are dead."
So i dreamed with your silky red thread
where i wished for your hands: to be led.
